Have you ever try congee? It is a soup-like rice, when you cook congee, just pour more water than rice does into the cooker, it will makes the rice become watery. It tastes very good with marinated beef or chicken. When the congee almost done, put the beef or chicken in it, stir well until the meat is done. Moreover, it is especially good for people who get sick because it contains lot of nutrients and it is easy to digest. Babies in China do eat congee when their teeth are not yet grown. I think it is something substitue for baby food.
Here is the video which teaches you how to make congee, enjoy!!
